ATTO Technology SC 5700 Atto FastStream Offers Data Protection, FastStream 5000 Series features

1.0 ATTO FastStream Offers Data Protection

The ATTO FastStream™ Storage Controller is an ideal solution for the cost sensitive demands of today’s networked storage environments, offering great performance, OS independence, simplified management, and RAID protection for all of your critical data.

Adding RAID ensures your data is protected without compromising performance. The ATTO FastStream is a high performance RAID storage appliance which can be seamlessly integrated into a storage environment without regard to any particular manufacturer, type of drive, capacity or speed.

ATTO FastStream RAID controllers are ideally suited for bandwidth intensive applications such as digital film, video and audio as well as medical imaging, digital prepress and disk to disk backup.

While RAID improves data accessibility and reliability during normal operations, you still need a good backup strategy for long-term protection of your data.

The ATTO FastStream is available in an industry standard rack mount 1U enclosure.
